Surgery on the breast is well suited for TA given the fatty nature of this tissue. Reports of augmentation and reduction mammaplasty performed under TA and without the use of IV or inhalational anesthesia have been reported (61). The use of TA in conjunction with cosmetic facial surgery, primarily cervicofacial rhytidectomy, is becoming much more commonplace. The first report of TA for facelifts was by Brody in 1994 (78). Since then, there have been a number of reports detailing its use. The hemostatic effect and help with flap elevation from tissue hydrodissection are important benefits. Well-respected, academic plastic surgeons now consider it a critical adjunct for safe, successful facelift surgery (79).
